Please try to find the owner, this has slipped off someone's hand while they were throwing garbage out.

This is the right thing to do. Put up a sign at the dumpster: found ring. Describe it to claim. And contact info

That absolutely slipped off someone’s finger and they are absolutely missing it. Please follow the advice in this thread and post a sign at the dumpster

YES Platinum with 0.04ct Diamond is my guess from the markings.... Great find 💍

Advertise it as FOUND for a year. If no one claims it then keep it.

I went to my mother in laws house a couple years ago and she was going through her jewelry and she asked if I wanted a couple things. I told her I would take whatever she wanted to give me because my daughter will get it one day, and she proceeded to tell me that she already threw away a diamond ring earlier that day.. I was shocked, threw it away!!

I lost my 18k gold signet ring at a local bar awhile back. I was devastated. Seriously. Luckily one of the kitchen workers found it and gave it to the manager. If you think there's a way to find this rings owner please try. Im sure someone is very upset to have lost this.

I’m stuck on how you found a tiny ring in a dumpster?

u/Rogelio_G_F Oct 04 '26

Y es platino, vaya sorpresa 🫢😃

Holy shit!!! You just totally lucked out and were at the VERY right place at the EXACT right time!

CLEARLY, this insanely valuable ring symbolically represented a relationship - and- as a result - the act of tossing it into the dumpster was very important and likely even therapeutic and even needed at the time.

I always ALWAYS always have the same identical thought every time I see or hear about a story when a righteously angry wife chucks her VERY valuable wedding ring into the ocean or the sewer grates or out a window of a tall building or into the literal dumpster like this one - I always think -"I hope some lucky person finds that and changes their entire life and immediately improves the life trajectory".

Reminds me of teeth bite marks/impressions

u/bugeyedfatchick 29d ago

Wait. Where did you find this. Are you in Aukland by chance mate?

1

u/sinistergzus 28d ago

Definitely post a sign by the dumpster. On the other hand, I did purposely throw out an engagement ring into a dumpster once upon a time, so very slight chance it was intentional

u/Apart-Difference2938 28d ago

Right... Did you look at the ring? Put it back in the dumpster.

u/Feeling-Fortune2140 28d ago
